I'm going to start a website and call it something like,Lake Lanier RC Boating,so there will be a place for people to find others with all kinds of rc boats,put pics and videos and get together to drive them!me and my brother have 3 websites through HostGator.

What's the best way to make sure my Lsn is set best?..right now it's at the manual setting of 2 1/2 out, (it was 4 out from factory)it runs good,but maybe could be quicker of the start.

One word:
TEST TEST TEST
I wouldn't go much leaner as you'll starve the engine and not start at all

kennethfunk

Thanks Hydro,I was thinking that's what I need to do...going to make a video out at the island soon!

amax

First don't mess with the LSN UNTIL you have the HSN pretty close to right, THEN you can make Small adjustments to the LSN. Just like the HSN in is Leaner and Out is Richer. Leaner will give you Quicker Throttle Response but To Lean will make it fall on it face when accelerating from idle, To Rich will make it Sluggish and Slow to accelerate from idle. Also as you turn the LSN IN you will need to Turn Down the Idle at the Transmitter.

Thanks amax,I will be taking it out to an island a few minutes from my dock to do some testing by Saturday!!

Any updates?

I took it out to that island,but it was a little too choppy water that day,I flipped it,rode jet ski out and got it,it was just fine,but there's a place that's right around the corner from my dock that's alot calmer,me and my brother got the pontoon boat running last Sunday,and we will take it and stop the boat and launch it from pontoon at calmer areas,especially in the mornings before everyone starts getting the water choppy,I made a short practice video with a gopro 3+ silver that we just got,but the mount was too high,waiting for a swivel mount to get here,my brother will film me as we're on the pontoon boat soon!

kennethfunk

a little too high,lol,...made a good video though,too top heavy,going to mount it close to boat!

kennethfunk

Got new mount

Will need to make video of filming boat also.

I know it seems Cool to mount a camera on your boat... BUT... these hydros are already Tail Heavy and Kinda Heavy for the power of the Stock Engine. It will NEVER ride Right with that much weight added and that far back. To get a Hydroplane "Planing Properly" it is a Delicate Balancing Act. Besides Vids from Shore are more entertaining than from the boat you can actually See the boat and Not just the world bouncing bye.....

I have to agree with Amax on this one. I've watched the video footage from the rear wing on the full sized boats and it's just boring. You only see what's in front of the camera and not what's going on around the boat carrying it.

kennethfunk

I agree too!

I've got the settings real close,right now the HSN is 3 out,and lsn 2 1/2.....does anyone know when it's too cold out to run the boat,it says in the manual not to run in too cold weather because of parts being brittle.

kennethfunk

Hi everyone,been running my Vegas Deuce a few times the last couple weeks since it started getting warm weather,it's running great,I've only just about finished my first gallon of 30% cool power with 23% oil,heli fuel,I just got a gallon from ups of Torco 50% boat,I think it's 23 or 20% oil,I ran first tank of it today,really makes a difference, it's a lot more peppy and faster,I had a quarter of 30% still in the tank and added the 50%,after a lap you could tell when the 50% started kicking in,..Lol,tomorrow going to a shore spot to keep it cruising in a big oval to fine tune to the 50%,I ride it from my dock,but other docks are kinda in the way,my twin brother(princeegli) just got a white Vegas Duece,now we got twin Deuce's: )!!!!!

kennethfunk

My brother got a 12oz Du-Bro gas tank he put on today,he's posting a thread on it!.....I was wondering ifanyone knows how to get negative angle on strut when brass tube is going up through boat and doesn't move in or out?

Nice what is that twin engine from?

kennethfunk

That's from my 1990 Kawasaki TS650 Jet ski,I just got the cylinder bored and new pistons and will have it running this weekend,it's down at our dock,it makes it real easy to go out and get an rc boat if I need to��
